Chen Ming, who got out of Commander Wu's car, ran all the way to his seat in the queue and stood up.

They can all feel the gaze of the officers and soldiers around them from time to time.

Commander Wu naturally saw this scene, but this was also the effect he wanted to achieve.

I've already set up the stage for you. Whether you can dedicate another wonderful performance depends on Chen Ming's personal creation.

Commander Wu, who was calm, strode to the front of the queue and spoke with the microphone in front of him.

"Comrades! This is the first time that our navy has really gone abroad. You are also our first batch of officers and men to represent our navy on the world stage. ”

"I believe that you are the best, and I believe that you can show our own spirit in front of the navies of the world. Do you have faith?! ”

"Yes!!"

Hearing the roars of more than 800 soldiers, Commander Wu nodded with satisfaction.

"Escort escort, you guys went out this time not just to show the world our navy. More importantly, it is necessary to ensure the normal navigation of China's merchant ships in the waters of the Gulf of Aden. Let our compatriots go out happily and go home in peace. ”

"If I have more, I will not have more. I am here today to participate in your launching ceremony, and I also represent the country and the Military Commission to send you off the hope that half a year later, when you triumphantly recall, you will recall your contribution in the Gulf of Aden, and you will be proud to be a member of the escort formation! ”

After Commander Wu finished speaking, he handed the microphone to the leaders of the Southeast Fleet and the Dongjiang Base amid warm applause from the officers and men. Deputy Commander Chen, the representative of the Southeast Fleet, and Lu Huaicheng, commander of the Dongjiang Base, and Commander Wu were all similar in temperament, and their speeches were very brief and crisp.

After the leaders finished speaking, Commander Wu took the microphone. Announce the order to set sail for a group of adjacent naval escort formations.

Accompanied by the music of the Navy Military Band, more than 800 officers and men quickly divided into three groups of ships and ran to board the ships under the leadership of their respective captains.

Boarding the respective ship does not mean the end of the sailing ceremony. In addition to the sail crews, helmsmen and other necessary personnel to start the ship return to their posts and operate according to the operating procedures for leaving the dock in training.

The rest of the officers and men stood in a straddle posture on the bridge of the first class. The leaders, comrades-in-arms and their families who saw off the shore gave the navy's unique standing salute.

With a long whistle, the officers and men on the shore raised their arms one after another and saluted the escort formation of three ships that were slowly leaving the dock.

After the ship leaves the dock about 0.5 nautical miles, the station salute ends. The officers and men on duty returned to their positions, while the officers and men who were not on duty either returned to the cabin to rest or bask in the sun and blow the wind on the deck.

Chen Ming also did not choose to go back to the dormitory. His dormitory and office area are all in a single room near the stern of the ship, which looks very convenient, as if Chen Ming is engaged in privileges.

But in fact, such an arrangement also means that after the escort formation enters the waters of the Gulf of Aden, Chen Ming will be on duty at 24 o'clock.

Even if you encounter something special in the middle of the night, you can get up and deal with it as soon as possible.

At a time when the ship has just left the port and the ship is still driving within the scope of China's territorial waters, it is relatively safe. Chen Ming also had to hurry up and come out to breathe.

While spreading the wind on the deck, I watched this group of sailors who were still in the excitement of going to sea and going abroad. Listening to the curious discussions of the soldiers in his ears about foreign lands and their longing for the future escort career, Chen Ming unconsciously put a smile on his face.

Chen Ming didn't know how the date of the escort formation's departure today was set, and whether he asked the so-called feng shui gentleman, who is very popular in the southeast, to calculate the fortune. But today is indeed an auspicious day for the zodiac.

The wind and the sun are fine, and the sea surface of the South China Sea, which usually has a three-meter-high wave height at every turn, is also very stable today. If it weren't for the gray of the warship and the soldiers in navy blue training uniforms walking back and forth, Chen Ming would have had the illusion of going out to sea on a yacht.

Little by little, time passed. In the days when the escort formation sailed into the open sea, crossing the Strait of Malacca. Nothing special happened, and Chen Ming was able to take some time out to walk around the deck.

Occasionally look at the seabirds flying overhead, and the sparkling sea. Participated in the Navy for eleven years, only now. Sailing on the ocean on a warship, Chen Ming really felt the charm of the navy.

The salvo of naval guns and missiles is shocking, and this tranquility of sailing quietly on the calm sea is also the unique charm of the navy.

Taking advantage of this free time, Chen Ming also calmed down his heart. Think carefully about your relationship problems. After all, being urged to marry, it is unrealistic that there is no ripple in my psychology.

It's just that Chen Ming himself doesn't know what he thinks now. He never considered himself a conservative person, and he felt a sense of excitement when he saw a beautiful and cute girl. But I just don't know why, but I can't raise the slightest idea of falling in love.

Is it because of Huang Huai? Chen Ming felt that this was not the case, and he and Huang Huai broke up peacefully. No one is sorry for anyone, it's just that the trajectory of Liangrao's life has changed, and the thinking forms of both sides have also changed. In the end, it just became inappropriate.

Even if he broke up with Huang Huai, Chen Ming didn't feel how sad he was. Now I don't have the idea of reuniting with Huang Huai.

Without waiting for Chen Ming to understand, the escort formation had already begun to enter the waters of the Indian Ocean. Ships have also become faster.

The hydrological features of the Indian Ocean are somewhat complex. Ocean currents show changes in circulation.

It's January. The northeast monsoon blows in the northern part of the Indian Ocean, which is affected by the Earth's deflection force. The waters in the northern part of the Bay of Bengal flow from east to west, and after being hindered by the Arabian Peninsula, the flow turns to the southwest. This movement is also known as the Somali monsoon current.

As the current continues southward across the equator, it meets the warm current of the southern equator. An equatorial countercurrent is formed from west to east. This eastward equatorial countercurrent flows northward into the Bay of Bengal near the Sumatra archipelago.

A circulating sea water is formed in a counterclockwise circle.

Therefore, the escort formation, which had just entered the Indian Ocean, was caught by the Somali monsoon current after bypassing the Arabian Peninsula along the currents of the Bay of Bengal to the west.

It was a smooth ride along the way.

On the morning of 6 January, the Navy escort group sailed into the waters of the Gulf of Aden and is expected to officially enter the mission area at about 11 a.m.
